Hundreds of masked Patriot Front white supremacists marching through Washington D.C. on July 4, 2026. Are these the people that Trump was referring to as “some very fine people”?

Indiana told the public it gave less than $1 million in data center subsidies in 2025. The real number? $655 million. And $561 million of that went to a single company: Amazon. While Hoosiers pay sales tax on groceries, Amazon paid nothing. This isn’t economic development. It’s a heist.

The finding had allowed the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act for nearly two decades. The repeal of the endangerment finding eliminates greenhouse gas emissions standards for U.S. cars and trucks and clears the way for heavy industry to roll back limits on air pollution.

I am very skeptical of Mark Levine's budget analysis that there will be a $12 billion budget gap within the next two years. How did he crunch these numbers so quickly? He has only been Comptroller for 16 days. I am curious about the methods he used. Am I the only one questioning this? #NYCBudget

It is ridiculous that all these people criticizing our new FDNY commissioner for never putting out a fire, as if previous FDNY commissioners have. Scopetta, Bloomberg's commissioner was Giuliani's ACS commissioner. Bonsigore has 30 years of experience as an EMT, which the FDNY gets more calls for.
